Is the trademark registered internationally? If this were not the case and a trademark is USA specific, how is is to be assessed if, as in the case of SQLite Database Explorer, someone from Ethiopia or, as in the case of SQLiteStudio, someone from Poland violates it? Or the other way round, if someone from the USA violates an Ethiopian or Polish trademark? |

At the time we were taught about the Madrid Protocol (US implementation https://www.uspto.gov/ip-policy/international-protection/mad...), which gives you some time to register it in each country after the first registration. If you register it within this alloted time, you retain priority over other people who want to register it too.
You do have to register it, but more importantly, enforce it, yourself worldwide.
IP Lawfirms usually provide this as a service.
On the practical matter of "Is the trademark registered internationally?". Have to do a search in each country's trade mark office. It's very tedious (not every mark is in text, some are pictures, sounds).
